Respondents to a student poll offer dozens of potential changes to the Honor System.
The Honor System remains a point of heavy debate on the campus of Washington and Lee.
In an attempt to map out this debate, The Spectator sent out a poll to the student body, receiving over 175 responses. Out of these, over 100 respondents decided to write a written response to the question: “What is one thing you would change about the Honor System?”
While many issues that students have with the Honor System stem from the institution’s enforcement (some viewing it as discriminatory, others as overzealous, weak or else), several students took the opportunity to point out other, systemic issues they thought plagued the institution. A close look at the results reveals a wide variety of issues raised by respondents.
